A Succession Of MIs fortunes.

Spokane Chronicle: Some weeks
ago We gave detailed account Of the
shameful manner il which a formc,
citizen of Spokane, Frank Baxter, had
deserted his wife and five small children
at Pennington and on arriving at Lewis
ton, Idaho, had married an innocen'
young girl, and how a brother of bis
lawful wife had found him enjoying hi
illicit cohahitation and caused him to be
arrested and bound over to wait trial
Mrs. Baxter was at that time working
at the Western hotel of this city, en-
deavoring to support her children, all o.
whom were being cared for by hel
mother, Mrs. Samuel Hardesty, residing
few miles from the city. A sEor
time since Mrs. Baxter was summoned
to aepear at Lewiston as witness in tn,
case. The accused was sentenced to five
yeau in tho penitentiary. Soon ate
her re&h her youngest child st
severely scalded that its life Hos
despaircd Of and its permanent very
impossible. To add to this disagrceabls
state Of aif4irs the domestic relations 3
the Hardesty family were frought will
untoward circumstances, resulting in
separation. Mrs Baxter has been oblig'
to give up her work at the hotel ant
devote her time to her suffering child
These successive misiUrtunes showcrc,
upon the unfortunate victim have place,
the family next door to starvation. 1
accordance with these facts, our gencrcu
townsman. Perry Orr, will circulate
petition for the benefit of the family o

''Let mamma put on the thing, and
YOU shall have NY watch, Toto. l give

Then the poor dear boy has braced

Such O little thing-a letter,
Yet so much it may contain;
Written thoughts and mute eKpressiea
Full Of pleasure, fraught with pain.
When our hearts are SD at parting,
Comes a CLEAN Of comfort bright
In the mutual promise given:
I'VE VIII not forget TO write"
Plans and ooings Of the absent,
Scraps OF news we ike 10 hear,
All remind US, cen though distant,
Kind remembrance keeps US near.
Yet sometimes single letter
Turns the sunshine into shade;
Chills our efforts, clouds our prospects,
Bights our hopes, ana makes them fade
Messengers Of Joy or sorrow,
Life or death, success, despair,
Bearers OF affections wishes,
Greeting kind Or loving prayer.
Prayer or greetin4 were we present
Would be Felt but half-unsaid;
We can write because our letters
Not our faces-wnl be read.
Who has not some treasured letters,
Fragments choice Of otherS' lives;
Relics, some, OF friends departed.
Friends whose memory still surviYesf
Touched by neither time nor distance,
VIII these words uaspoken last;
VoicelesS WHISPER OF the present.
Silent echoes Of the past!
